  • @iEatYourSandviches But it's a 24 hour race so you race until the 24 hours is up, not for a certain number of laps!

  • Hey! You were driving with a car that the other competitors stand a chance against! I chickened out and used my Audi R8.

  • @DaHappyGang Yeah, I wanted a close race! It ended up being closer than I thought because my B-Spec driver crashed when entering the pits on the last change over so he had to do a slow extra lap on worn tyres. I managed to make up the time in the last couple of hours and win by a minute or two.

  • Sucks that it doesn't turn into night :(

  • @ElBarto3131 Yeah, that and more competitors would be awesome.

  • sick driving. real smooth. were u using steering wheel or controller?

  • @Waldog111 Thanks! I was using the steering wheel, I found you can drive way better with it vs. the controller.

  • whoever finished in 1st place in this LONG race deserves a medal(btw i tried this race and only lasted 18 hours xD)

  • getting GT4 in 2-3 days (hopefully), cant wait! it looks like such a good game! :P

  • :O the game is amazing.....!! im already near the endurance races :):)

  • front wheel: Racing hard

    back wheels: racing superhard

    use ford gt lm race car spec II

    speed: 1

    how did u do this all in one day?

  • im on the 200th lap!

  • I raced 217 laps at the Nürburgring 24 hours race in a Pescarolo Judd C60.

  • ive got 1hour 10 minits to go come on anyway half of it was on a spec it was so anoying

  • im racing this endurance in b-spec(9hr left) and i use audi lemans with racing super hard tire

  • hey starry76...

    you mean that this endurance game runs for 24 hours.. FOR REAL?!!

    damn it!

    i have my own gt4 (Japanese version and because i live in Asia Philippines he he!) i need some of your little advice; i have difficult time beating a race ( i dont know what exactly that race is because it's japanese but i think it's on a professional hall the gt world cup perhaps)

    and now my racing course is el capitan-a.

    i really want to know what kind of tires should i use.

  • Yeah, it is a full 24 hour race! You can do it in B-Spec mode at 3x speed if you want (8 hours). Unfortunately I haven't played the game for a while so I can't remember the best tyres for your race. My advice would be try out some different tyres on the track and see which ones give you the best performance/durability trade-off. See what laps your rivals pit on and then try to find a tyre that matches that durability. Sorry not to be of more help. Ben

  • yo but u can do the race in b-spec mode only?

  • Yes, if you want to.

  • Hello,luis! I can do this only in holiday,but I will win it!

  • okay

  • Yeah, I used the Racing/Super Hard tyres. Not sure what you're asking about the B-Spec driver???

  • I don't really understand how it works.

    You got to let the PS2 keep going for 24hours?

    And btw can you switch between A and B-specc will racing?

  • Yeah, the race goes for 24 hours real-time! Whoever is leading when you finish the lap at the end of 24 hours is the winner. In B-Spec you can speed it up 3x and do it in 8 hours but I don't see the point. You can switch between A-Spec and B-Spec when you pit. I drove about 16 hours and my B-Spec driver for about 8 hours in a few shifts.

  • thx for the answer. I will do about the same.. Just do some b-spec sometimes and relax :)

  • can you switch it off then carry on the next day>?

  • No, you have to leave the PlayStation on for the entire race, you can pause but you can't save or turn it off.

  • ah shit thatll be so long and boring...

  • it is deffinitely long and boring but the prize is great a fourmula 1 :)

  • when you get tired of your steering wheel can i have it??

  • Unfortunately I already sold it. :-( This was the best race in the game and I got a bit bored after that having completed all of the challenges, licences, etc.

  • did you beat the ring 24 hr. on A-SPEC?

  • I drove about 16 hours in A-Spec and used the B-Spec driver for about 8 hours in a few shifts. I don't think I could do the whole 24 hours straight!

  • I don't get it.. Does 24hr race really means 24hours real-life?? Racing for 24 Hours??

  • yeah you race for 24 hrs in real life except u can just put it on computer mode/ b spec mode

  • But where's the fun in that? I'd rather play 24 hours straight. lol

  • do you have come 1 st  place t complete it?

  • the reason alot of people do it when they get a game completition of 25% is just to get the formula one car.

    i also play it on A-spec! its way funnier

  • @macboy4556 yeah that's what i'm gunna do, coz i want that f1 car so bad, i unlocked the escudo pikes peak today it was a momentous occasion

  • @FORTY848 yea the only thing that sucks about the formula car is you can only use medium tires, so you have to pit alot. its only good on short races

  • yeap

  • does this time reduction in this event apply to all the other endurance races or just this one?

  • You can increase the time to up to 3x when using your B-Spec driver in any of the endurance races if that is what you mean?

  • no man i meant that by using b-spec here the race can be done faster (8 hours>24 hours)...so i ask if this time reduction apply to all the other endurance races as well? my bad on the last comment for not clearing that up...

  • No worries. Yeah, you can do all of the endurance races three times faster in b-spec mode.

  • for example, i culd do a four hour race(a-spec) in jus one non-sped up hour in bspec???

  • I'm pretty sure it is 3x so for example a 3 hour race would be 1 hour (4 hour would be 1.3 hours).

  • yay hurray for b-spec!!! and to think i hated it at the beginning...i luv GT4 but i got patience for like 10 laps so this will be the way ill tackle all the endurance races (sounds monotonous but i jus wanna pass the game)...thnx for the help.

  • Good luck! You'll get best results if you train up your B-Spec driver by putting him in different types of races, tracks and cars. I love the endurance races! This 24 hour race was awesome fun! I did about 16 hours in a few shifts and my B-Spec driver did the other 8.

  • yea ive gotten some help on b-spec points thnx to some FAQS my driver got skill level at 5024 now its jus a matter of tuning the rides to be idiot-proof for the AI so it dont mess up and be able to overtake when i want it to

  • how often do you change tyres?

  • I can't actually remember but I think it might have been every 7 laps or so. They are long laps! Whatever it was it was about the same as the cars I was competing against.

  • hey i just finished it omg soo thrilling :P but mate u used a bad car lol i used nissan 350 z concept Lm race car 02 omg that car flysss i was ahead by 4 laps no joke

  • Congrats, it is an awesome race. I chose the car on purpose because it was closely matched to the AI cars. I think I ended up being about one lap ahead at the end.

  • so u cant leave the race and continue some time later I HAVE TO LEAVE THE PS2 ON?!?!?!?!!? PLEASE TELL ME U CAN LEAVE THE RACE AND FINISH IT LATER...i kno u cant do anything else if u do but will the race resume at the # of laps you left it???

  • You can pause the race but you can't save it and come back later.

  • well in that case its b-spec for me, since i got no one to co-drive...ill jus get mur points on my driver then leave the race on overnight...

  • i tried doing that race but i couldn't i got real tired and a headache from looking at the TV on day i'll do it and what kind of car did u get

  • It's pretty full-on but worth the effort. My ears were ringing from the engine noise for some time afterwards! The prize is lots of credits and the F1 car. It is amazing, though a bit fast for some of the tracks. There is a reason that F1 stopped using the old Nürburgring!

  • It would be sick if in GT5 you could trade off stints with a friend online and still get full Aspec points.

    I just started a new game in GT4, and once I open up the endurances again I'm going to try and do the full race Aspec in under 26 hours, only pausing to eat and use the bathroom.

  • That's pretty card-core! It would be fun to do the whole race in realtime with a real co-driver (i.e. not just B-Spec!).

  • @CyborgGT Good luck with that. I wouldn't stand a chance going for 24 hours...and then you've still got the Circuit De La Sarthe I & II 24h races

  • @CyborgGT I would be very tired if I do a 24 hours race by myself even in real life in endurance race there usually 3 or 4 driver

  • me, knut and my buddy and co-driver, kai did this race together but had to pause at 18hours and sleep some, will do it again though without pausing, with a better co-driver lol.

    we won with the mercedes evo 16 92.

    laptimes from 6:24 to 10mins..., average 7mins with pit. superhard back and hard front tyres. had to pit every 3.lap.

    --my laprec is 6:11.360 with the same car on soft tyres btw.-- when 24 hours had passed we clocked 193 laps and the car in second place was less than 6 mins behind!

  • it was a alfa romeo 155 2.5 v6. after 57 laps we had 1.place for the first time in the race, and the leading car at the moment was the vauxall calibra supertouring, the calibra was in 1 for like 80% of the time but came 3, only seconds after the alfa.

  • Is it actually 24 hours,Should I leave my Playstation on that long?

  • Yeah, it's 24 hours or you can do it B-Spec in 8 hours. I did the whole 24 hours and the PlayStation got hot but it wasn't a problem.

  • lap 177, DID YOU ACTULLY DO 24 HOURS?? i would have just done it on b-spec, 3 times as quick?

  • Yeah, I did the 24 hours in realtime though my B-Spec driver did about 8 hours over a couple of stints while I got some rest. Pretty crazy but had to be done once! :-)

  • nice job! :) , for this race i used the mercedes amg clk gtr because i felt lazy :/

  • Thanks! I felt like a challenge so chose a closely matched car.

  • i have did this race twice one with the clk gtr amg and the second time i wanted more of a challenge so i used also the Mercedes-Benz AMG 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car :)

  • I hear a steering wheel haha, awesome!

  • Thanks! Yeah, that steering wheel makes quite a bit of noise. It gets pretty hot too!

  • what car were u in

  • Mercedes-Benz AMG 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car 1992 (it's in the video details)

  • i have to pit every lap in my zonda Lm race car with 1020 hp-ive got the medium tires on -and in b-spec 3x speed

  • I'd say either your B-Spec driver isn't very good at conserving the tyres or the Zonda is too hard on them. Pretty sure I only had to pit about every twelve laps in the Mercedes Touring Car (about the same as the opponents).

  • well here is the thing the tires were still good after 1 lap but then before another they would be dark red so i had to change them every lap-medium tires-usually use hard-check out my video i finished

  • Good driving. That Zonda doesn't look easy to handle. It certainly isn't easy on its tyres (screeching = tyre wear).

  • 12??? i only got 6 from a chaparral 2d with superhard tyres DX

  • what car r u using?

  • Mercedes-Benz AMG 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car 1992. I chose it because it was closely matched to the other cars.

  • i just use a tricked out race car and see how many laps down the compitition is

  • im doing this race right now i started at 11:47 so im 4 hours 14 mins. into the race and second place is -2 laps im doing it with a pugani zonda lm race car its great

  • i making the endurance of le mans 1 right now, and i really must said:what a boring!!!!i think my ps2 exploding after that!!!!

  • How do you make your B-Spec driver better?

  • You have to train him by getting him to drive different cars, different circuits and in different events. I think his ability is based on three separate scores and these will gradually go up as he gets more experience. It takes quite a lot of time to get him to a reasonable level though.

  • Can you pause and continue later on a 24h race? Like when your doing a tourny... you can get out of it and continue later? Because I don't see how it's possible to race with your eyes glued to the screen for 24 hours.. and I don't feel like leaving my PS3 on that long, or even longer if i want a rest.

  • You can pause it but you can't save it to continue later. That's part of the challenge! I shared the driving with my B-Spec driver which gave me some time to rest.

  • you can do 24 hour race in 8 hours with a good b-spec driver and 3x speed mode!

  • Is there a way in B-spec mode to always keep the race going 3x speed even though the pit stops, so you dont have to keep turning the race back on to 3x speed?

  • Unfortunately you have to set it back to 3x speed after every pit-stop. From memory it is necessary to pit about every hour to hour and a half.

  • omg that was so not worth the 24 hours i got the car and it sucks i can only get the thing to 220 mph. im regreting doing the race if anyone can tell me how to make it go faster plz message me.

  • that's a great car!Do you think I could win with the Suzuki Escudo?please reply!thank you!

  • I'm not sure, I never got that car but I'm not sure if it is the best car for this track. Take a look at the types of cars the other drivers are using.

  • sooooo what did you win? it better be a really good car lol

  • The prize is the F1 car. I didn't much like it as I found it too hard to drive on a lot of the tracks that I like most. It has pretty amazing performance though. The only other way to get it is to finish 50% (or more?) of the game.

  • any mods to the car?

  • I can't really remember as it was quite a while ago now! I don't think there were any though (other than tuning). I wanted the car to be competitive so didn't want to over-mod it.

  • wat car r u using?

  • Mercedes-Benz AMG 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car 1992. I chose it because it was closely matched to the other cars.

  • This is really take 24h of playing dude?...

  • Yep! If you do it in B-Spec mode you can speed it up to only 8 hours but I did it in realtime.

  • Hey brother, you are mad but it's really funny to see - and to see that there are other crazy people like you online...Congratulations!

  • give a name of a car to do the 24 le mans sarthe II ? some cars turn to the left and stop at the straight line.

  • I did practically every event in the except for like a few. I found that both the 24h nurburguring and 24h sathre the best. Sathre done without B-spec (paused every few hours) and won like by a few laps. The other one was my first 24h event. Man it was fun, did it with Nissan R92CP Group-c le mans car. Won that by over 40-60 some laps i forget, lucky winning by like a minute, id just about strangle myself if i lost. 10/10

  • i am at the moment doing the 1000 miles endurance race point being the monaco race and really enjoyable for me. The car being used is the 300SL Benzo. What I tend to do in respect of the PS2 is press the eject the loading tray and the game just continues playing albeit without the music. In that way I save on wear and tear that the laser would otherwise endure. I have always done that on the longer races unless I am in the mood for listening to some daiki kasho! : )

  • tell me something please when you play in this event 24h nurburgring gt4 the game plays always on daylight never at night? i mean its a 24h event....with no night?in the game?

  • Yes, unfortunately it is daylight the whole time.

  • this is very stupid...i hope the new gt5 endurance events in 24h game play in the night..it would be perfect..isn't it

    ?

  • Yeah, that would be great!

  • hell yea it would

  • how many hours did it take you??

  • was it hard to drive so long time

  • its in 1000 miles or where in germany but where????

  • Eh?!

  • I will be attempting this sometime this weekend. I WILL NOT be switching to B-spec at all, my comrades will be video taping my ever so slighty dip into madness as i race for 24hrs straight

  • Man, you are crazy! I would have liked to do it with a friend rather than my B-Spec driver but I couldn't find anyone who was willing to do it and was a good enough driver!

  • I was able to complete the 24h Nurburgring Endurance race. I started the game at 6 a.m and finished it at 4:30 p.m. Obviously in B-Spec Mode. My Playstation 2 survived! I used the Chapparal 2J.

  • with tuning or without and if yes what tuning because i dont want to play all the time but the most in a-spec and the b-spec shouldnt be an idiot driver^^

  • Did you win?

  • Yes, by just over a minute! I purposely chose a car that would result in close racing. At one point I left my B-Spec driver for a couple of hours and he crashed at the pit entry just before the handover and had to go around for another whole lap on worn tyres! I managed to get him to nurse the car back and then had to make up heaps of time but managed to put in some good laps.

  • where did u get the patience to do this.....on a-spec mode. i'm doing this rite now in b-spec and i'm 8 hours in. damn is there some way to speed this uuupp?!! my PS2's gonna fry i swear it...

  • I thought it was great fun and had to be done at least once! If you're using B-Spec you can speed it up 1, 2 or 3 times if you want so you can do it in eight hours minimum.

  • yea, that's what i did, and i finished it. loong and totally fried my Nissan R92CP and almost my PS2

  • i drove with the nissan motul pitwork,such a great car for that race...

    best lap:6:23

  • there's a even better one, Nissan R92CP pwns rite at the start. fastest lap is 6:20

  • you can get the formula gt & play the endurance races but the only problem i played nurburgring 24 hours b-spec i wake up the next day to find the shit car make me be 3rd place.

  • get the Audi R8. just wow. 1083 hp. probably not that much for real though.

  • how many laps i have to do in this race?gracias

  • whoever is in the lead at the end of the 24 hours wins, there are no set laps

  • muss man echt 24 stunden fahren!? das schaff ich nie xD kann man irgendwie nach paar stunden speichern oder so?

  • did you played with the logitech momo race pad because of the noise

    sorry for my english im from germany

  • It is the Logitech Driving Force steering wheel. It is an excellent wheel with force-feedback, paddles on the wheel for gear changing and separate brake and accelerator peddals. It got pretty hot during the race but I didn't have any trouble with it.

  • i got a 6.33 in my mercedes benz supercar i won in tha touring car champ

  • All A-Spec?

  • No, by B-Spec driver did eight hours (in about three shifts) while I splept! All real-time though.

  • what car is that?

    Nice driving :)

  • Thanks! See "About This Video" for the car details (Mercedes-Benz AMG). I chose it because it was nice to drive and closely matched in performance to the other cars.

  • i did a 8 minute lap with the 02 Impreza WRX STI once.

    What place did you get?

  • I won the race by just over a minute! I purposely chose the car and competitors to make the race close.

  • if u slept how could u go to the pit?

  • The B-Spec drive automatically pits when he needs to.

  • you were 24h without sleeping or you paused the game ? hah

  • I used my B-Spec driver for about 8 hours (over three separate shifts) while I slept!

  • ooh all right thanks!

  • i had tried it for all day when i woke up next day still going is it REALLY 24 hrs?

  • When u go to B-Spec mode u need to speed up the race time, so u can finish the race in about 9h (real time).

    U can do this by pressing R1 to open the information panel and then press L1 + Right to increase the race time. You'll note the time is going faster.

    IMPORTANT: the car will come to the pit automatically but the race time will also come to normal. If u want to reduce the REAL race time to 9h u'll have to be monitoring the race.

  • Yes it is, the race finishes when you cross the line after 24 hours. You can speed it up by up to three times if you use your B-Spec driver.

  • i have raced a 48 hour one on gt1 OMFG i only won an Masserati special Edition 96

  • i have beat all endurance events on gt4!!!!! in b spec.  i dont believe you play 24 HOURS !!!!.......... because if you stop on the pit you can choose de option b spec -- a spec--- .........

  • if you're in a half of lap choose b-spec then your next pit stop a-spec

  • have you played for 24hours!? O:O

  • I did the race in realtime with my B-Spec driver. I did about 16 hours and he did about 8 (while I slept!). Great fun!

  • Weather changes would be cool too. Let's hope they do both.

  • Sadly no. That is one of the dissapointments of the game. Night racing would be awesome! I wonder if they will add this if/when they bring out a version for PS3.

  • Lol! You have the same TV as I have!

    GT4 didn't run anymore after 2 days playing :s

  • It's a good screen for games, having the wide-screen is good although I don't think it has a particularly quick refresh rate. Bummer about GT4 not running anymore. I had it going for just over 24 hours but didn't have any troubles with the game or console. I would have been spewing if it crashed halfway through!

  • in my opinion the best car for this race is the Jaguar XJ220 fully tuned because you can just b-spec it and then voila! you have an polyphony digital F1 car.

    Do not use the mercedes benz CLK-GTR just because you can tune it to over 1000hp you will lose on b-spec i waited 14hrs when i turned the tv back to the game i was in 6th place lapped like 4 times with like 30 min left

  • It depends whether you're racing to win or for the challenge and fun of it. I was doing the latter so wanted a competetive car for a close race. My B-Spec driver wasn't as good as me so he would lose time against the opponents and I would make time against them. I ended up winning by only a minute or two! I haven't really played the game since I did this race as it doesn't get any better than 24 hours at the Nürburgring Nordschleife IMO!!!

  • i just wanted the f1 car so bad so i just had to do it and it ended up taking like 17hrs cause i kept leaving and it just goes back to normal speed when you pit stop

  • Yeah, I know lots of people just do the race for the F1 car. I found the F1 car really hard to drive and didn't play the game much after I did this race (I had got all my licenses, finished all the challenges and stuff anyway). The F1 car gets out of shape so easily. Maybe I just needed to practice more but I like tracks like the Nürburgring and it wasn't designed with F1 cars in mind!

  • th f1 car has got too much power and its too twitchy. it has 904 bhp but there is a jaguar that you can win which has 928 bhp and it is also more manageable.

  • The best cars to make the Nurburgring 24h race are the Deutsch Touring Cars. The best ones for me are: Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car, Audi A4 Touring Car, ABT Audi TT-R Touring Car and Opel Astra Touring Car. You can also use the BMW M3 GTR Race Car.

    All these cars have more then 450 hp when u buy them.

    Before using the car don't forget to change the oil and to wash. This makes u win power in the car. The Audi TT for example goes from 470 to 494 hp.

  • what the 180 laps

  • holy shit! 24 hours of racing, i would just B-spec it, i might soon, as i havent yet

  • whats the point of driving 24 hours long?

    cuz even if you would get a good price i would never do such thing.

    i got bored with the endurance race to drive 100 laps in the easy circle world.

    and thats the easiest one.

  • just askin does the track go dark aft 12 hrs?

  • Sadly no. That was a big dissapoinment. Driving at night would have been awesome.

  • Won't the PS2 overheat if it is left on that long?

  • It wasn't a problem for me. I did it in real-time so it was on for the full 24 hours. My steering wheel got pretty hot but fortunately it didn't break either!

  • is it really the idea that you have to race for 24 hour straight??? wtf, i want to start the european 1000 miles, is that in one peace?

    please react

  • Yes you do have to race for 24 hours although if you use your B-Spec driver you can speed it up 3 times and do it in 8 hours. I shared the driving with my B-Spec driver and did in realtime.

  • I was in the middle of this last night and I got tired at around midnight. Then the next day I come down to continue, I find my PS2 turned off, my dad turned it off in the middle of the race, I was so pissed.

  • outs! that heard!

  • WTF? when i pit in with the Toyota MINOLTA the guys only lift the back of the car and change ALL the tyres in a glitchy way, WTF?!

  • i aint botherin completin it. got 50 cars inc da 190 evoii
